Tips for a mechanical engineer resume

✓Quantify improvements: output, rejection rate, downtime, cost per part.
✓List the CAD tools and quality systems you’ve actually used (SolidWorks, IATF, Six Sigma belt level).
✓Name the industry — automotive, heavy engineering, FMCG — as plant experience rarely transfers on paper unless you say so.
